The referendum proposal was based mostly on broad suggestions from the neighborhood that there are about 7 core points which have triggered the protocol to fade from the highlight prior to now yr. Fenway due to this fact felt that if this new proposal have been to cross in a neighborhood vote, Synthetix might return to the forefront of DeFi. He believes a giant a part of the issue is an absence of accountability in governance, and due to this fact has designed an overhaul the place the present councils might be lowered into one 7 seat council (with 4 elected seats and three CC seats employed by the elected councilors). Fenway believes that the CC placement on this council will guarantee “imaginative and prescient continuity.”
And talking of imaginative and prescient, one other key facet of this primary referendum might be a refreshed roadmap. He used the 2024 roadmap for example — this was scheduled to be launched this coming month, however a roadmap this late within the yr wouldn’t be notably helpful. The referendum would due to this fact shift precedence in the direction of hammering out the main points of a 2025 roadmap as quickly as attainable to offer a transparent line of sight to protocol stakeholders and enhance accountability. Fenway has already written up a draft imaginative and prescient for 2025 that you would be able to learn right here.
This referendum would additionally search to offer extra organizational construction to the Core Contributors. At present, the CCs function in a principally flat organizational construction, which makes it very troublesome to prioritize work. Fenway believes that geographically-aligned working teams would make it simpler to work by issues in actual time.
Subsequent, he plans to kind a Synthetix basis, which would supply a layer of safety for CCs who’ve needed to interact with distributors on behalf of Synthetix (doubtlessly exposing them to regulatory danger). This might additionally make some grant funding, which has traditionally been out of attain for the protocol, extra attainable.
The final key component of the referendum is to deliver the main focus of the protocol again to the SNX token. Fenway emphasised that the aim of the SNX token has come into query in current months and believes it’s within the token holders’ curiosity to vary that. Now that SnaxChain is on-line, there is a chance to make use of it to the advantage of the protocol.
Fenway’s overarching purpose with this proposal is to ship a powerful message to the neighborhood that Synthetix is again, and to deliver some vitality again to the protocol. The vote for the referendum continues to be stay, and can shut on October 4th, so you should definitely solid your vote should you haven’t already!
